Comments on: PISCOPO: CHANNELING ‘THE OLD MAN’ http://www.redbankgreen.com/2007/11/piscopo.html Serving greater Red Bank, NJ - a town square for an unsquare town Sun, 01 Aug 2010 06:22:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: James Cusimano http://www.redbankgreen.com/2007/11/piscopo.html/comment-page-1#comment-33951 James Cusimano Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:32:28 +0000 http://ads.redbankgreen.com/2007/11/piscopo.html#comment-33951 <p>As a big Sinatra fanatic, I'm very glad I saw this article. What a great way to spend Frank's birthday. My Brother and I always try to do something special on December 12th. I saw Frank in concert over 50 times, a young groupie.. 75th birthday concert at the Meadowlands, When they lit up the Empire State Building blue for "ol' blue eyes". I was there. <br /> I always loved watching Joe Piscopo impersonate Sinatra, I felt the respect he had for him. I still quote one of the greatest lines from that time. When Sinatra (Joe), gets into a limo and says to the driver, "take me to the Rainbow Room! The driver replies, "but Mr. Sinatra, it's right across the street", Frank says: DRIVE. Classic. I'm so glad the Sinatra legacy is being preserved through so many talented artists. I'll be there Joe, tapping my feet, laughing and listening. This is really great that you're doing this... try to make it an annual thing.. :) </p> As a big Sinatra fanatic, I'm very glad I saw this article. What a great way to spend Frank's birthday.

Get over it. I'm sure there were plenty of other calls from other political supporters. You stay home, we're going and we'll have a great time.

That said, I still haven't forgiven him for recording those annonying telephone ads for Doug Forrester. In the days before Forrester lost his last election, his campaign would call my house virtually every hour and play a recording of Joe Piscopo urging me to vote for Forrester. The calls were so harassing and so annonying that I voted for Forrester's opponent even though I had originally intended to vote for Forrester. I also vowed that I would never financially support anything that involved Joe Piscopo. </p> <p>Here's hoping that your Count Basie show is a flop, Joe. And if you call my house again, you and I are going to have a misunderstanding. </p> I used to like Joe Piscopo.

Here's hoping that your Count Basie show is a flop, Joe. And if you call my house again, you and I are going to have a misunderstanding.
